The BEST Ps2 Slim IDE mod is here! IFlash2PS2

In todays video we install the new iflash2ps2 IDE modkit from Arthrimus!
This kit is designed to be used withe the Iflash solo boards which are traditionally used to upgrade ipod storage media from mechanical hard drives to sd storage. The generic IDE to sd boards people have been using for these mods have the very unfortunate limitation of 128gb. Fortunately, it was discovered that these Iflash boards don't have the same limitations. 1tb is absolutely possible and potentially even larger down the line as sd card technology evolves.

Bloody awesome dude. Cant wait to order one. :) glad you got you’re hands on one. Im still gonna attempt a PS2M2 at some point but this makes it so much easier for the sd mod. Well done Arthimus, dude even pointed me in the direction of how to make one for the dream cast.

@@ModzvilleUSA yeah that’s the problem. I was hoping it would be something along the lines of grounding a particular pin. Im guessing that’s not the case though :( Im assuming the only way would to create your own pata to sata adapter to make it smaller and go from there. Especially if you change the psu inside of it too. It does open up some more space.

Thoughts on SD card longevity for this use? This seems like it would be a significant amount of read/write during game play.

Why isn't there a storage mod that connects straight to the DVD connectors on the board like they do for the game cube?

@michaels9917 2 ай бұрын

I've wondered the same thing. Are there too many motherboard revisions to make it feasible? An ODE sounds like the simplest method.

@PaulHenning84 2 ай бұрын

@nhand42 2 ай бұрын

ODE requires an FPGA or SOC and on the PS2 where IDE just works, why bother. FlippyDrive might change the game with cheap RP2040/ESP32 based ODE, the developer is shipping soon.

@Astfgl Ай бұрын

The problem is that for both the PS1 and PS2, all of the CD/DVD controller and decoding logic is on the motherboard and the optical drive is just a dumb analog device. For both the GameCube and Dreamcast, that logic was contained on a daughterboard attached to the optical drive, which communicates with the motherboard over a fairly simple digital bus. It's relatively easy to build an ODE for those consoles that plugs into that bus. A plug-in ODE for PS2 on the other hand would have to accurately emulate the low-level undecoded signals coming from a CD/DVD drive, and the technology is simply not there yet to pull that off.

@maynardcrow6447 Ай бұрын

@@Astfgl thank you for clarifying. I thought it would be an ide device.

@Profeces Ай бұрын

iFlash also has sata boards. I wonder if it would be possible to use one of those for an m.2 drive. From the way this kit works, it looks like if that was possible it would be easier than the m2ps2 build.

Hi @ModzvilleUSA What's your purple ps2 slim exact model? I want to install both retrogem and this IFlash2PS2 Flex Kit with IFLASH-Solo. But by looking at both retrogem and IFlash2PS2 Flex Kit compatibility list they seem contradictory to me, because retrogem support SCPH-7000X and IFlash2PS2 suggests to use SCPH-700XX which is in the range but recommend using a SCPH-70012 which is not a SCPH-7000X. How do I know which one to use? I thought about a SCPH-70001 but in the IFlash2PS2 website they say that it is very likely that this will not work and this is one of the models that come with the IDE support. Thanks in advance.

@ModzvilleUSA 2 ай бұрын

Same dude. The circuitry isn't there unfortunately. Maybe it's possible if you tap into one of the BGA chips but that'd end up being a pretty intense mod.

@Arthrimus 2 ай бұрын

@@ModzvilleUSA Unfortunately even that would not be possible. The reason that no slim after 700XX can do IDE is because they replaced the original IOP with the Deckard chip which does not even have an IDE controller in it. The early slims still used the same IOP from the fat PS2, which is why they still have IDE traces that can be tapped into.

@DruidVorse 2 ай бұрын

yes

@Astfgl Ай бұрын

7000x are the only models that have the vestigial IDE connector pins on the motherboard and the required controller chips to run a hard drive. It's basically a shrunken-down 5000x motherboard, the two are very similar. From the 7500x onward, IDE support was removed entirely so there is simply no way a mod like this could work on later Slim PS2's.

I have an idea for you to try out. Take this slim. Replace the bios chip with an Scph-5000 model. Then install Free HDBoot on the microsd. That way you don’t need a mod chip or memory card to load the exploit. It should work I believe.

@ModzvilleUSA Ай бұрын

Modchip isn’t needed. This can be loaded with fmcb or direct from Sd

@OnTheEdgex23 Ай бұрын

Oh I’m aware of that. I just know these slims are essentially the Phat Schp-5000 series in a smaller form. I thought it be need seeing FreeHD boot off of it without FMCB or a mod chip
